I have a simple app that executes $.jGrowl("loading");. Then the data is displayed $.jGrowl("blah blah blah data goes here"); after crunching data which can take 1 -5 seconds.

I've seen a post that mentions using the default.pool to only display one message at a time. The format I want is:

Show box 1

crunch data

close box 1

show box 2

Is there a jGrowl function that can be initiated to close all notifications?

UPDATE
according to the source example you can do the folowing$('#loading').jGrowl('<img src="images/loading.gif" alt="Loading..." />');
then call to close it$('#loading').jGrowl('shutdown'); <div id="loading" class="top-right"></div>
that does hide the loading growl, however it also hide subsequent notifications in that region.
